"""I love finding science books that are written for children. In this case the author, K.J. Field, has written a delightful science book on the planet Jupiter. Geared toward the young child, it will most certainly generate an interest in astronomy. Using the very creative theme of ""space smells"" we are introduced to Jupiter and its moons. The 38-page book is done in a comic book style with each page being fully illustrated. It would be a fun storytime book when read to a small group. I loved how each page has a funny situation between Jupiter and another entity in space."" - Bob Jackson, Booksprout reviewer ""This book is a hoot! It presents astronomy in a hilarious and accessible way, perfect for the little astronomer. My little guy really enjoyed this book and was really engaged both with the story and the pictures."" - JennT, Booksprout reviewer ""This was a really funny book, whilst still being educational (edutainment of the best kind!) The pages are full of pictures where Jupiter is explaining about itself to its two (irreverent) moons (Ganymede and Io). Lots of information is imparted in a fun and accessible way. It was definitely a hit with my son."" - Ellem, Booksprout reviewer"
